Re: Connecting to Google Voice Via SIP

Hi emoci, you can use 'p' for "waiting for answering" and 'w' for "waiting for half second" with pbxes.org. It is useful in the trunk outbound dialing prefix. You don't need a premium account to do this.

Hi Lackluster,

I have been using the basic GV incoming and Gizmo5 call out credit for outgoing calls from my innomedia ATA. After reading through this thread I wanted to follow the nerdvittles advice (1) configuring your Google Voice number to go directly to voicemail, (2) configuring your Gizmo5 number to forward all calls and send them via SIP to your Google Voice phone number, (3) configuring FreePBX to route all calls with a GV prefix to your Gizmo5 SIP URI, and (4) configuring Asterisk to jump through the autodialer hoops to place an outbound call to any U.S. number through the Google Voice telephone interface.

I created an account on pbxes.com but I need some help to set it up with proper information for the steps 3 and 4. Can you please let me know how you set it up? Appreciate your help.

Thanks
Ik.

Are outgoing calls using any free sip-uri to GV dead, or has a workaround been found?

This story notes that the Google leadership is really worried about Microsoft's Bing! search engine.

Considering the importance of Search to Google's whole business, I bet that they backburner GV and other non-core projects.

Anyone with any proper business acuteness should be worried when a competitor introduces a new product. I don't think that has detracted from Google introducing non-search products in the past. (In fact they have separate teams dedicated to different products. I doubt Craig Walker will now be working on search...)

My attitude is ABG - Anything But Google.

Sure, I'll use them if there is no alternative: Google Voice is nice for free calling for example, but if somebody has something as good, and they usually do, then I will always choose it over whatever Google is pushing.

There are a dozen search engines that will do as good a job as Google's for anything I will need. I used ask.com for several years without a problem and am now giving Bing a try.

I hope Microsoft cleans Google's clock.

I think I found a way of using Google Voice to call the US for free.
One can open an account with a VOIP provider that offers Pay As You Go. One provider I know of is Future-Nine.
Then one can get a free US number from IPKall and link it with the SIP account. Then one can use this number in GV to get calls forward to.
Well an than there is this little inconvenient call button on GV. GV will call your US number and then the party you wish to call within the US for free.

I did not try exactly this solution as I have an official US number already. However, it worked with my current VOIP provider with my own US number.

Good luck!

Re: Connecting to Google Voice Via SIP

This is getting a bit of track because the GV number is a "real US number" and I'm guessing it could be SIP forwarded to CallWithUs via Gizmo.

There's basically two options: GV > POTS (IPKall) > SIP and GV > SIP (Gizmo) > SiP

Here's an updated step by step guide to enable SIP on Google Voice »truvoipbuzz.com/2009/08/how-to-e···utorial/

Next best thing to free SIP calling: totally free PBX with totally free calls in and out (dialed like you normally do) using Google Voice. Just run the install script on any clunker PC you have lying around.

As it stands (provided you do not have your own PBX and are not happy with a little software on your PC) your best bet is:

Incoming SIP:
-Get a 1-747 G5 Number
-Point your GV to your G5 number
-Register your G5 Number on your ATA/SoftPhone/Agregator Service)

Outgoing SIP:
-Get a SipSorcery acct.
-Use either the G5 number from above (this is ideal if you want to register to SIPSorcery and be done with it) or another G5 number.
-Create secondary extension in SIP Sorcery (eg. user-gv)
-Register G5 Number to SipSorcery (eg. in this case the contact field would be user-gv@sipsorcery.com )
-Add the following dialplan as the 'Outgoing Dial Plan' for the extension:

#Ruby
 
sys.log("***Starting New Call Event***")
sys.log("***Outgoing Call Starting***")
sys.log("Call placed by  #{req.Header.From.FromName} at #{req.Header.From.FromURI.User}@#{req.Header.From.FromURI.Host}")
sys.log("Call is for #{req.URI.User}")
caller = req.Header.From.FromURI.User
called = req.URI.User
sys.log("*** Caller: #{caller} ***")
sys.log("*** Number Called: #{called} ***")
 
sys.log("Call Placed via Google Voice")
sys.GoogleVoiceCall("user@gmail.com", "password", "1747xxxxxxx", "#{called}")
